REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Call Sign: E090173 DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) for up to 30 days to conduct in-orbit testing (“IOT”) of the DIRECTV RB-2A payload (call sign S2797) on the DIRECTV 12 satellite while at 76° W.L., from its Moxee, Washington earth station (call sign E090173). The application for this earth station is currently pending. 1 DIRECTV requests that the STA be structured to begin upon arrival of the satellite at 76º W.L. DIRECTV 12 is scheduled for launch in late December 2009. DIRECTV has requested temporary authority to conduct IOT of the DIRECTV RB-2A payload at 76° W.L. before moving the satellite to its operational orbital location. 2 The STA requested herein will support the IOT phase of that mission. DIRECTV will coordinate with potentially affected satellite operators in accordance with industry practice, and will operate on a non-interference basis. The requested STA will serve the public interest by ensuring that the DIRECTV RB-2A payload is properly tested to assure that it will operate safely and in good working order so that it can make productive use of valuable spectrum/orbital resources as soon as possible. Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests that the Commission grant this STA request as expeditiously as possible. 1 FCC File No. SES-LIC-20091001-01263. 2 See FCC File No. SAT-STA-20091202-00136.
